Missing Zodiac [Season One]

Chapter Fifty Five

The 13th one

Third person

A big portal immediately formed in front of Constello who's chilling in his office table. A smile formed in his face while waiting for someone to come out of the portal. Also, he's in his human form, wearing a tuxedo.

Ilang segundo lang, agad patalon na lumabas isa-isa ang mga zodiacs na agad napaluhod sa sahig upang mabalanse ang sarili. Huli sila Bambam at ang ilan pang mga kasama na si Zeria at Claude na lumabas sa portal. Nanatili namang dala-dala ni Pis si Reeva sa kaniyang bisig.

"Welcome back, my dear children! Ahahahaha!" Malakas na halakhak ni Constello na tila bahagya pang umalingawngaw sa buong silid. "I've got so many kids! Ahahaha!" Paghalakhak niya pa kay Kumoko na tumango lamang sa kaniya habang nakatayo sa kaniyang gilid.

Nang mapansin ni Zeria ang king of Constellation na si Constello, agad itong lumuhod at yumuko bilang paggalang. Habang si Claude ay nakatulala lamang sa isang tabi at si Reeva ay titig na titig. Tumayo naman si Bambam sa bandang gilid at medyo dumistansiya sa mga zodiacs.

"Welcome back," masayang bati muli ni Constello. Bahagyang yumuko ang kaniyang mga anak sa kaniya, maliban nga lang kay Miza na nakatayo sa kaniyang harapan at nakatitig lamang sa kaniya. "You're so different before compared to who you are right now, Dad."

"Ehehe! Well, now that you've witnessed it, you don't need to worry, my dear; I'm not like that anymore."

Tumayo na siya sa kaniyang kinauupuan sabay ngiti sa kaniyang mga anak. Ibinalandra niya ang kaniyang mga braso sa kanilang lahat. "Congratulations my children, you've done it! Finally!"

"Huh?"

Everyone was confused but Constello kept his genuine happy smile to his children.

"You've perform a single magic by doing it all together; The zodiacs spell!"

"The zodiacs spell?" Nangunot pa ang noo ni Miza at bahagyang tinagilid ang ulo niya sa taka.

Umalis naman na si Constello sa kaniyang table at tumungo sa mismong harap ng kaniyang mga anak.

Agad namang inangat ni Constello ang kaniyang kamay kasabay no'n ang pagbalot ng puting glitters na nagtipon-tipon sa dulo ng kaniyang mga daliri. Those glitters formed a shape, showing the twelve zodiacs performing a ritual to protect the twelve cities.

"Nagkaisa kayo upang gumawa ng isang spell na po-protekta sa twelve cities ng Constellation world. You've created a single barrier made by the twelve zodiacs. A barrier that can purify and no one can destroy. Now you can perform a strong magic by doing it all together again."

"Magic?"

"Yes, darling, a magic to protect the whole universe."

Everyone was a bit surprised, nagkakatinginan pa sa isa't-isa ang mga zodiacs. Habang si Miza ay tila napapaisip lang sa sarili.

"Dang, it's all thanks to Miza, hahahaha!" Pumalakpak na sabi ni Leo.

"Eh?"

Lahat ay napangiti kay Miza na ikinabigla naman ng dalaga. Napaanga lang tuloy siya at nabibiglang napalingon muli sa kaniyang ama. Tila proud naman ang itsura ni Bambam na tila kinikilig pa.

"I didn't do anything, dad."

"You did a lot, darling! Hahahaha! All of this is meant to happen, and I am so proud that you were all able to do it. You've brought our family together, Miza, my real Virgo. The first missing zodiac in the prophecy of the galaxy."

Everyone looks happy for Miza, even Aries and Gemini are smiling, though they're trying to hide it.

But Miza immediately noticed something.

"First? May second pa ba?"

Because of that, tila napaisip na rin ang mga zodiacs. Natigilan naman si Constello saglit. Then he smiled again at saka isa-isang tiningnan ang kaniyang mga anak.

"We'll talk about that in some other time. After all, we have plenty of time to prepare. For now, let's celebrate! Because finally, we are now a happy family! Ahahahaha!"

A fireworks of glitters immediately came out of nowhere! Tila naging ulan tuloy ito at kumalat sa buong paligid. "Yey!" Masayang sigaw pa ni Leo na nagtatalon at tumatawa pa. Tila nahihiya pa ang ilan sa mga zodiacs ngunit bakas ang ngiti sa kanilang mga mukha. Masaya namang umiikot sa ere ang Pisces twins. Masaya ring pumapalakpak si Bambam.

Dahil do'n ay dahan-dahan na ring umusbong ang ngiti sa mukha ni Miza, now she understands. All of it is meant to happen for them to be able to fight together, to protect each other, and care for one another as a family.

For them to be able to do strong magic.

It will be more stronger...

And Constello knows it.

"Emperor," Pagtawag ni Kumoko sabay abot ng isang malaking Ipad kay Constello. A gadget from the human world. Tiningnan niya naman agad ang nilalaman ng screen.

"Hmm...this is her now?"

"Yes, your majesty, her name is Purple Villarina, they named her after her hair that has purple highlights. She's living in a different City near Alakitasia, kung saan rin nakatira si Miza."

"Haha! What a cute name."

Kasalukuyan niya ngayong pinagmamasdan ang isang facebook account kung saan may profile at post ng ilang pictures ng isang magandang dalaga na may black hair with purple highlights.

"How is she now?"

"She's working part time as a baker in her adoptive grandmother's bakery and she's a grade 12 senior high student."

"I see...may alam ba siya sa kaniyang totoong pinagmulan?"

"No, your majesty, she doesn't have any idea about who she is. She's just living her normal human life."

"Hmm..."

Saglit na katahimikan ang nananig sa pagitan nila. Patuloy lamang pinagmamasdan ni Constello ang ilang mga pictures ni Purple kasama ang lola nito, mga pictures kasama ang mga kaibigan, pati mga solo pictures nito.

"Emperor... may I ask, is she Queen Aurora's daughter? She seems to be different like Miza." Curious na tanong ni Kumoko. Nilingon naman siya agad ni Constello at nginitian sabay baling muli sa Ipad.

"Aurora? Nah, she's tired of me, hahahaha! Love doesn't bloom between us so she doesn't want anything to do with me."

"Um...that means?"

"She's my beloved Mizariki's daughter too."

"Eh?"
